Today's long-awaited debate between Democratic Gov. Gray Davis and Republican Bill Simon could be scrapped over a dispute about what to do with Green Party candidate Peter Camejo.
Simon has threatened to pull out if the Los Angeles Times, the debate's sponsor, does not allow Camejo to attend as his guest. Davis' campaign has said the governor won't show up if Camejo is even in the audience.

Cowards? I agree. Simon would have really scored some points as an advocate of free and open debate if he had also invited the Libertarian (who will take votes for him). I wonder why he didn't? Hmm....

I wonder why he didn't? Hmm.... Looks cynical, doesn't it?

From the "Greenie Weenie" Sacto Business YournalI watched it at noon and they played it again on radio all afternoon here in the Sacratomato Region, aka "Superior CA" (according to the BEE). Since it was NOT prime time it won't matter that Simon was very, very good, IMHO!!!

I think every candidate that is running should be allowed to participate. PERIOD. I may not like their ideas, or support them, but if they are in a legitimate legal party, they should have the same rights afforded the two "main" parties. They would have to follow the same debating rules, and time frames, so what is the reason for NOT allowing them? It is wrong, and you and I are in agreement 100 percent. Lets hear from ALL candidates for office!! Heck, who knows, I may have just voted for a different candidate all together if there message was out there like everyone elses. What is everyone afraid of? Ideas?
